feel like i’m about to go insane

Wondering if anyone else can relate. My 6 month old won’t play with anything, she has so many toys and she’ll hold and try eat it for maybe 30 seconds then get so stressed and start screaming at top of her lungs. She refuses tummy time as soon as i put her on her belly. I can’t even
get through a little kiddy book with her without her kicking off. She doesn’t like being put in anything that’s not my arms. She’ll only nap if it’s a contact nap. My only break is a walk and she’s starting getting fussy during them now. She used to like the car now she screams so loud she makes herself choke and stop breathing. I literally have no time to myself and I have no idea what to do in her wake windows when she hates literally anything and everything.

Nap location during the day

Where do people put their baby to sleep during the day?

She’s outgrowing her Moses basket at 16 weeks, and think she hates sleeping in anything she can touch the sides of.

Any ideas other than her pram? She wakes in that too because of the sides.

Weird, or not?

Our LO is 17 months. Typically, after dinner I take her up to the bathroom for a bath, and dad does dishes. The other day I offered to swap, assuming he would enjoy bath time. He told me he doesn’t want to give her baths because it’s “weird” for him to be giving her a bath because she’s a girl. I could understand if she were old enough to be bathing herself, but she’s not even 2. I find it really odd that he thinks that it’s “weird” to give his child a bath. Is this a red flag? Should I be concerned?

Last nights, night shift

I really don’t know what to do about this, little one does not like to be wet (understandable) once a drop hits the nappy she start’s screaming uncontrollably, when changing her she starts pooing, sometimes I use 4-5 nappies in one setting thinking she is done each time and everytime I put on a new one she 💩 again. I was also blessed with a handful of 💩last night trying to save my bed and that is her clothes all smeared too, some of these bags has 2-3 nappies in them all from one night.

Not too worried about how many nappies it is, it’s just the stress of her constant screaming and it takes so long to calm her down and she keeps pooing. Any ideas are welcome 🙏🏼

Husband’s snoring is driving me mad

Pre-baby, I was a really heavy sleeper. Once I was out, that was it until morning. Now little one has arrived, I feel I’m waking up at every tiny noise he makes. My husband has always snored, but I always used to fall asleep before him so it wasn’t an issue. Now I’m waking up multiple times a night, I’m finding it almost impossible to go back to sleep. I’m currently on the sofa with baby and hubby upstairs because I haven’t slept properly in 4 days. Little one is 4 months now and is doing a good 7 hour stretch, I just can’t seem to get that. Any advice (or earplug recommendations) greatly appreciated!

For those that have older talking kids, if u used to watch tv occasionally while your baby was there, did that make tyem talk late ?

I don’t let my son watch tv that much , he’s 7 months but o let him watch occasionally like while I’m making his food or taking a shower and for just a short period of time .. .. he’s already babbling a lot and he’s so interactive… I’m just curious to see how it went for other babies ..

Feeding on demand

Nicu mum here 👋🏻 my little one is nearly 4months and we’ve been doing 3 hour feeds until last week and we moved to 4 hour feeds for two days. Specialist said our boy was doing great so told us to move to demand feeding… now his not drinking as much and it doesn’t seem enough in mls as we have to track everything. We are now trying different bottles. He was doing part puramino and part expressed breast milk and they told us to go full expressed breastmilk.
Has anyone else had similar and can offer advice? I’m trying not to stress but I can’t help it 😩😩 his sometimes going less than two hours between feeds as we can’t get him to drink enough.
